C-11 production with MC-50 cyclotron and synthesis of L-[11C-methyl] methionine

  • 1. Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

L-[11C-methyl] methionine was prepared via no-carrier-added(nca) fast S-alkylation of L-homocysteine with [11C]CH3I using solid support (Al2O3/KF)at room temperature in ethanol. The radiochemical yield of methylation was 90.2%. After reaction, no radiochemical impurity was detected but traces of L-homocysteine precursor were monitored by UV detector. The purification was archived by passing successively through a C18 and alumina sep-pak. the radiochemical purity of L-[11C-methyl] methionine was over 98% after purification and total elapsed time to prepare was 10min from [11C]CH3I delivery
